Chasing down a cure for lung cancer, one mile at a time

Wow. That’s what immediately comes to mind. Day 50 was a BIG Day! Bill and I started from just outside of Stockton, CA and rode about 12 miles to start.

We had another great day today, traveling 84 miles from just outside of Yosemite Park to south of Stockton, CA.

I then when back to where I finished on Thursday… Continue reading We rode 340 miles today, and we are still in Toponah?

Our plan was to ride 60 miles and make our way to Vegas. And that’s exactly what we did. The ride was a 3,100+ foot… Continue reading Another 60 miles and we are sooo close!
